All entries gratefully received, Sandra. I’ll look forward to reading. 12 days left to the end of the month, if anyone else is interested in taking part.

Mantra.
I am the master of my fate: I am the captain of my soul.
Such is the mantra, spoken quietly in hope during clandestine gatherings, or whispered in the darkest moments outside of them, when dreams of life lived to the full fall beyond my control and are squashed like bugs in the mud.
For certain, this mantra is against the teachings of…[Read more]

@jillybean – read your books pretty much in two days. Really enjoyed them. Love Gregory – big, brash, but loyal to a fault.
Couldn’t find them on Goodreads to leave a review though… Have you posted them there yet?
-
Thanks, Squidge. I’m so glad you enjoyed them 🙂
They are both on Goodreads but are easier to find if you search for them as Revolt the king’s knight etc
(tried to leave you a link but dialogue box didn’t like it.)Really appreciate you taking the time to leave a review 😀

I’ll take another look…

Have we ever had an entry in the form of a song before? Formatting may be a challenge, so bear with me.
On a restroom wall in Baltimore,
Above a broken sink,
Someone scratched this message,
“It’s later than you think”I took this simple line to heart,
I saw that it was true,
And built myself a sturdy boat,
Then sailed the ocean blue.Time goes…[Read more]

Well, Kate, you’ve got me stumped with this months competition. Still waiting for inspiration to strike.
-
Oh no! I was hoping to inspire, not stump. Maybe a nautical theme from you with the Captain reference?
-
A trawler Captain, he could be the captain of my sole!
-
Sounds fishy to me. 🙂
-
There had to be a catch.
-
Good one. I’ve been trying to come up with some smart reply, but I’ve got nothing, so you win this round!

Still floundering, Kate?

Perfect, Bella!

Congratulations, Squidge. Thinking about your story still makes me shiver.

Enjoyed writing this, and coming back to it after a week away, thought Kate’s was a very worthy winner among a host of fab entries!

I thought I would try and stick with Sandra’s successful poetical theme. Here’s a line from William Henley’s ‘Invictus’ that really resonates for me.
‘I am the master of my fate: I am the captain of my soul.’
I don’t mind what sort of interpretation you put on it; that’s going to be half the fun of seeing what you all come up with.
Let’s say…[Read more]

Thanks, Sandra. I wasn’t expecting that! A really fantastic prompt and so many great entries. Bear with me on coming up with something for next month as I’m helping my mother move house today.

Lots of congratulations to Kate, and to John and Seagreen. And thank you to Sandra.
I’m chuffed to be mentioned alongside The Return of the Soldier. -
